Few sailboat classes can claim this title. What started as a drawing on the desk of Francis Sweisguth in the fall of 1910 in New York, has become an international class with a rich Olympic history and active fleets as far as Russia, Australia, Europe, not to mention North and South America. This year, the Star Class World Championship will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina hosted by Club Nautico San Isidro November 1st – 10th. All regatta documents are available on the class website along with boat transport information. For West Coast boats interested in going, contact Erick Lange beforeMay 29th for transport pricing from port of Los Angeles and back or from port of Los Angeles to Buenos Aires to port of Miami for the 2016 World Championship.
